The vane ends, which are angled at 30 degrees, reduce drag and assist the
casing in reaching total depth (TD). Another feature is that the wide vanes
distribute load from the casing string into the wellbore without gouging. This
product is made in softer material than wellhead equipment to avoid damage
to the wellhead.
This product differs to DAVO2 in that there are set screws between the vanes.
If rotation is required then the product can be installed without set screws and
positioned between the Stop Collars, or between the Stop Collar and the
Casing Collar. If rotation is not required then the screws can be tightened up as
illustrated in the picture.
Any special sizes or custom combination can be made available upon request.
The fins or blades overlap the entire 360-degree open hole circumference and
the reduced flow area between the spirals provides and creates a vortex
motion that increases fluid velocity. Another benefit is that the extra length of
the fins gives maximum centralization, high stand off and increases annular
turbulence while the angle further enhances turbulence and removal of debris
from around the casing. Even without rotation, the angled fins still induce
turbulent flow for improved cutting and filter cake removal. All Centralizers
are stove painted or coated with polyester powder.
These Centralizers are available in all sizes ranging from 3 ½” to 20”. Any
special sizes can be made available upon request.
SledgeHammer’s Aluminum Spiral Vane rigid Centralizer Fixed shares all the
same features as the Straight Aluminum Rigid, with the difference being the
spiral vanes. The "DAS03” is made of high tensile cast aluminum for shock,
impact, and corrosion resistance. This Centralizer provides positive standoff
between casing and wellbore and is made of softer material than wellhead
equipment to avoid damage to the wellhead.
The unique spiral vanes overlap the entire 360-degree open hole
circumference. The reduced flow area between these vanes provides a vortex
motion that promotes increased fluid velocity. If rotation is required, the
Centralizer can be assembled without set screws and positioned between Stop
Collars, or between the Stop Collar and the Casing Collar. If rotation is not
required then the screws can be tightened as illustrated in the picture. This
product is available with left-hand or right-hand vanes in a variety of sizes.
These Centralizers are available in all sizes ranging from 3 ½” to 20”. Any
special sizes can be made available upon request.
Optimal flow is achieved due to the reduced flow area between the spiral
blades. This generates a vortex effect, which in turn increases fluid velocity. In
addition, the 30-degree angle of the vane reduces drag, and the gentle flow
from the body to the height of the vane eliminates scraping or dragging into
the formation. The product is shock resistant and exhibits high tensile and yield
strength. Fabricated from high quality zinc, it is also resistant to corrosion.
SledgeHammer’s Steel Twin Blade Rotating Centralizers have a unique design for
special purposes and are fabricated from one piece of high strength steel.
The design is ideal for running casing into unusually irregular well bores. In
addition, it is particularly effective for guiding the casing and providing maximum
flexibility for the casing string. The 45 degree angled fins create a radial swirling
fluid motion when the fluid is being pumped. This motion assists in channeling,
removing mud and cement placement. Other key features of this product include
its excellent circumference standoff from the wellbore and the tapered vanes
that significantly decrease drag. This Centralizer is not fixed to the casing.
Instead, it rotates up and down by use of the Stop Collar and beneficially
reduces torque. This product is very strong and durable and is stove painted or
coated with polyester powder.

reduce drag and friction. Key advantages include reduction in friction, ultimate drag
and rotational torque together with increased abrasion resistance for maximum
superior quality polymer and have excellent tensile and yield strength.
Designed to provide optimal flow, the fins overlap the entire 360-degree open hole
circumference. The result of this is significant reduction in flow area between the
spiral vanes that generates a vortex motion and increases fluid velocity. In addition,
the extended length of the fins gives maximum centralization, high stand off and
increases annular turbulence. Even without rotation, the angled fins induce
turbulent flow for improved cuttings and filter cake removal. These Thermoplastic
This product is available in standard length only. Each Centralizer is surface finished
on a CNC lathe and is rigorously checked for quality. They are available in all sizes
These Centralizers have tapered vanes that considerably reduce drag during running
into the casing or well bore. The angle of the vanes creates a radial fluid motion
when the fluid is pumped. This motion reduces channeling and provides enhanced
clean up and cement placement properties. These Centralizers are not fixed to the
casing, instead they rotate up and down by the use of a Stop Collar and significantly
reduce the torque necessary to rotate the casing. All Centralizers are painted or
coated with polyester powder.
These products are available in all sizes ranging from 3 ½” to 20” for any hole
combination. Any special sizes can be made upon request.
When casing equipped with Roller Centralizer runs into a deviated or horizontal

They are provided with different sizes of rubber fins which help in wiping
the casing walls as well as assisting in displacing the cement in one step.
The plugs are made of graded rubber and are completely PDC drillable.
self-centering cups with wiping elements are bolted onto the Aluminum core.
Differential pressure across the plug forces both wipers and cups firmly against the
casing wall to create a firm wiping action throughout the length of the casing
string. The all-aluminum core resists distortion from pressure in a deep well and
gives support to long columns. The top plug can be used when a dual plug system
is not required. All plugs are PDC drillable and the operating range of temperature

spring and each set of springs has been tested with the load being applied directly above them and
then in between the two springs, as shown in figure A & B.
When the minimum restoring force has been obtained and each spring has been tested, the final load
deflection curve is prepared using the arithmetic means of the force reading at corresponding
deflections. Restoring force is determined from this curve at 67% stand off ratio. Field experience
shows that stand off values of 75-90% are adequate even in horizontal wells.
